Disa hallackii
species of plant
Disa hallackii is a perennial plant and geophyte belonging to the genus Disa and is part of the fynbos. The plant is endemic to the Eastern Cape and Western Cape and occurs from the Cape Flats to Port Elizabeth. The plant grows on the low parts of the coast. There are between eight and ten subpopulations remaining; the plant has lost its habitat to development and crop cultivation. None of the subpopulations consists of more than 150 individual plants and the total population consists of less than 1 000 plants. The plant is threatened by invasive plants, further development, maintenance of road shoulders and overgrazing.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Disa hallackii” as species of plant. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the science & nature register because the source frames it as species of plant. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 3, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q10266933. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
